Exactly! I can understand corruption. But don't these people have the slightest bit of self-preservation instincts? Don't they want competent and loyal bodyguards paid for by someone else?

On the plus side, it makes public transit planning pretty easy.

My headcanon is that Final Frontier takes place in the Nexus in Generations. It's not just Shatner's fantasy, it's Kirk's fantasy.
My headcanon about the TNG movies is that those four pieces of crap take place in some alternate universe from the TNG episode Parallels.

On the other hand, leaving the current incompetent Ukrainian leadership in place could be the smart thing in the long-term. Why risk having these idiots potentially replaced by competent people?

It's funny you mention the IRA analogy, because that's the same episode that had some controversy in the UK.
The Dominion always struck me as more of a technology-scavenger organization. Not much R&D of their own, an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality. Could be that no-one in their part of the galaxy invented something like it.

>The company has updated its FAQ page to say that private chats are no longer shielded from moderation. >Telegram has quietly removed language from its FAQ page that said private chats were protected from moderation requests. The change comes nearly two weeks after its CEO, Pavel Durov, was arrested in France for allegedly allowing “criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.” >Earlier today, Durov issued his first public statement since his arrest, promising to moderate content more on the platform, a noticeable change in tone after the company initially said he had “nothing to hide.” >“Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform,” he wrote in the statement shared on Thursday. “That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon.” Translation: Durov is completely compromised and will do whatever NATO tells him to do. Do not trust in the security of Telegram, which frankly was never that good to begin with. And do not trust anything else even remotely connected to the company or Durov personally.

This is the lesser-known companion Playstation game to the classic anime Serial Experiments Lain. [There's a downloadable version](https://laingame.net/offline.html) as well. [The bottom of this page](https://3d.laingame.net/#/notes) has the chart of keyboard controls. Also, the gameplay is highly unconventional. It's not like a regular visual novel. It has a totally different style and purpose and interface than Disco Elysium, but it takes the same sort of patience and open mindedness.

Not only did some 1960s engineers at General Electric think that this might work, but they did actual tests involving actual hardware. NASA and the USAF declined to pursue the project, for fairly obvious reasons.

I thought I could deal without a notification LED on my new Oneplus phone, but it's honestly driving me a little nuts. I'm looking for a watch that looks like a nice watch (preferably analog), but also connects to my phone and has a notification LED. I remember seeing this sort of thing being more common 5 to 10-ish years ago but I'm not having much luck tracking one down now. I literally do not need any other features. No fitness tracking, no GPS, no music, no speakerphone, no nothing. If it has them, fine, but I won't need or use them. All I want is a little LED that lets me know in a timely manner that a notification popped up on my phone, on a watch that looks like a classy watch, and with a companion app that isn't a subpar piece of shit. I'm okay with having to charge it maybe every few weeks, but I will be damned if I get some stupid overpriced gadget that needs a daily charge and makes me look like a techbro.
I haven't found who first came up with this hybrid of NASA's official ["meatball"](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/NASA_logo.svg/574px-NASA_logo.svg.png) and ["worm"](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/NASA_Worm_logo.svg/1280px-NASA_Worm_logo.svg.png) logos, but I think it looks pretty damn good.
As we all know, by the year 2360, Earth had reached a level of development in which commerce as we know it had fundamentally changed. It was a post-scarcity paradise. Individuals instead challenged themselves to purposes that benefited others. So my question to my comrades is this: what sort of [Soviet-style awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders%2C_decorations%2C_and_medals_of_the_Soviet_Union) would our crew have? Obviously Picard would have a Hero of the Federation or two. And Dr. Crusher would have a People's Doctor of the Federation.
Build-a-bear - yes the actual company and not a generic competitor - has a section for 18+ they call "After Dark". Now this is all actually pretty tame stuff. They don't sell little accessory dildos. But they have some interesting choices. Would you like your bear to have some [exciting underwear](https://www.buildabear.com/chocolate-covered-strawberry-underwear-set/031079.html?cgid=the-bear-cave-after-dark)?

Maybe your bear is a [hot stylish mature bear](https://www.buildabear.com/%22zaddy%22-t-shirt-/031986.html?cgid=the-bear-cave-after-dark). And of course to help everyone relax into the evening, you could provide [martinis](https://www.buildabear.com/martini-wristie-/031652.html?cgid=the-bear-cave-after-dark), or maybe [something for special occassions](https://www.buildabear.com/plush-cabearnet-wine-and-glass-set/029575.html?cgid=the-bear-cave-after-dark).

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government aims to make housing more affordable for younger Canadians without bringing down home prices for existing homeowners. Cutting shelter costs while ensuring that homeowners’ property values remain high could be viewed as contradictory, but Mr. Trudeau was adamant that property owners would not lose out. “Housing needs to retain its value,” Mr. Trudeau told The Globe and Mail’s City Space podcast. “It’s a huge part of people’s potential for retirement and future nest egg.”
The U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday the interest rates on federal student loans for the 2024-2025 academic year. The interest rate on federal direct undergraduate loans will be 6.53%. That’s the highest rate in at least a decade, according to higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. The undergraduate rate for the 2023-2024 year is 5.5%. For graduate students, loans will come with an 8.08% interest rate, compared with the current 7.05%. Plus loans for graduate students and parents will have a 9.08% interest rate, an increase from 8.05% now. Both of those rates haven’t been as high in more than 20 years, Kantrowitz said. The rise in interest rates could complicate the Biden administration’s efforts to get the student loan crisis under control and relieve borrowers of the pain of interest accrual, experts say. Even as millions of people have benefited from recent debt relief measures, new students will be saddled with more expensive loans for decades to come.
